Theodor Billroth and Theresa Heller

According to the classic „Historia - magistra vitae“ and from the French philosopher Georges Lecomte „we do not know science if we do not know its history,“ I would like to discuss in more detail the surgeon who is forever written in the annals of ars et scientia divina and his immortal patient, Theresa Heller.

Keywords: Theodor Billroth, resection of the stomach, Theresa Heller, specimen of the stomach.
